Having hunted with a .260 hand loaded with 120 ttsx and 125 gr NP's , it will kill all those things you want to kill, but as in every caliber precise placement is key. If I want to go .284 then I step up to my 280AI.
260 84M- 6lbs, 6oz
280AI 84 L- 7 lbs, 2 ozs.

Both are light and easy to carry.

Enough already, just shoot it!
